Mirador de Parralillo

The Mirador de Parralillo is one of those breathtaking spots in the heart of Gran Canaria that stops you in your tracks. Located on the GC-210 road between Tejeda and La Aldea de San Nicolás, this viewpoint offers spectacular views of the Barranco de La Aldea, where water from the reservoir winds through the mountains creating a striking contrast of landscapes. From here, you can admire the majestic Roque Nublo in all its glory, surrounded by Canarian pine forests that fill the air with their distinctive fresh scent.

Open 24 hours, this viewpoint is perfect for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers seeking to connect with the island's most authentic wilderness. While the stop is brief, the visual impact is immense: deep ravines, unique rock formations, and that silence you only find in the highlands. Do exercise caution when approaching, especially during adverse weather or road closures, as some alternative routes can be challenging. An essential stop for locals and visitors wanting to discover Gran Canaria's wild side.
